BICS Advanced Analytics helps mobile operators separate humans from machines to enhance IoT roaming 18 May, 2020

BICS Advanced Analytics helps mobile operators separate humans from machines to enhance IoT roaming

Mobile operators – especially the visited operator that provides network access to inbound roamers – are struggling to monetise inbound M2M/IoT connections because of a lack of transparency, the limitations imposed by commercial agreements and the complexity that surrounds access control for roaming machines. Without transparency and control, operators are faced with competing on connectivity alone, with the inevitable result of price commoditisation and decline in market share. (more…)

Shock as survey shows customers see operators as digital service providers 05 September, 2019

Shock as survey shows customers see operators as digital service providers

Reports of telecoms operators enduring a lingering decline to become commoditised infrastructure providers may have been exaggerated if the results of a new survey of mobile operators’ customers can be extrapolated. For once, the survey, commissioned by Openet, presents positive news for operators. It says that customers are increasingly willing to buy digital services from operators and are looking to them for digital innovation. George Malim reports from Dublin, Ireland.

Inside Swisscom’s mainframe replacement project 28 August, 2019

Inside Swisscom’s mainframe replacement project

Mainframe replacement is a phrase that turns the blood to ice in the veins of most telecoms IT professionals but these ambitious projects are starting to happen with greater regularity as mainframes reach their fourth – and sometimes fifth – decade of operation and the cost of operating them starts outstrip the risk associated with replacement. VanillaPlus managing editor George Malim recently interviewed Markus Tschumper, the head of general IT services at Swisscom, to learn about the communications service provider’s recent migration of traditional mainframe workloads to the cloud, running on a software defined mainframe from LzLabs.

Executives and IT must collaborate to define 5G business cases, says Deutsche Telekom’s Meijer 30 May, 2019

Executives and IT must collaborate to define 5G business cases, says Deutsche Telekom’s Meijer

With 5G at the centre of mobile operators’ strategies, the challenge is to avoid another cycle of intense infrastructure investment which enables the business cases of other organisations. Instead, operators need to take up a new role that monetises the enablement they provide and places them in the connected ecosystem as more than the providers of connectivity.

CSPs still missing out on billing communications blackspot finds BriteBill survey

Although only 40% of communications service provider (CSP) customers look at their bills regularly this still presents millions of customers for most providers and this channel of communication is not being maximised, writes George Malim. Billing communications remain a neglected channel according to a recent survey of 40 CSPs across EMEA, North America and Asia conducted by Omnisperience on behalf of BriteBill.
